1. The rain was pouring down from up above. The sky was black, but the streetlights reflected an erie electric glow over the rain-soaked grass and pavement. Large black puddles had begun to form, and as the light reflected from their surfaces, they seemed to come alive. I'd imagine that their shininess and the movement created by the change in the light caused by my movement past them was similar to magnesium.
To create the sensation of a light that changes as a consequence of your moving past it, I could coordinate a man-operated or mechanical light source that would react as the dancer moved onstage.
2. It was midday and drizzling. The power went out. All the electric lights shut themselves off, and all the light in my room was left without its habitual fluorescent hue. The remaining light was surprisingly bright. It was white from having bounced of the particles in the clouds and the rain. It was surprisingly calming and comforting.
The ideal way to create this sensation in a theater setting would be to replicate it. In CFA 110 we could allow the unadulterated light to filter through and be our lighting on a drizzly and gray-white day.
